1
00:00:00.04 --> 00:00:03.03
- In this movie we'll draw
the face of the iPhone,

2
00:00:03.03 --> 00:00:06.06
which by the way is just a
bunch of shapes and some text.

3
00:00:06.06 --> 00:00:09.00
The only exception is
this stylized flower,

4
00:00:09.00 --> 00:00:10.08
which I created in advance.

5
00:00:10.08 --> 00:00:13.01
Alright, so here we are looking
at the rounded rectangle

6
00:00:13.01 --> 00:00:14.08
that we drew in the previous movie.

7
00:00:14.08 --> 00:00:17.05
And I'm going to start things
off by adding the screen,

8
00:00:17.05 --> 00:00:20.07
which I'll do using the standard
Rectangle Tool once again.

9
00:00:20.07 --> 00:00:22.07
Which you can get by pressing the M key.

10
00:00:22.07 --> 00:00:23.09
I want the screen to be centered,

11
00:00:23.09 --> 00:00:26.00
so I'll alt + click, or opt + click

12
00:00:26.00 --> 00:00:28.03
at the intersection of
those two guide lines

13
00:00:28.03 --> 00:00:30.07
to bring up the Rectangle dialog box.

14
00:00:30.07 --> 00:00:32.06
Now Apple advertises the iPhone 6 screen

15
00:00:32.06 --> 00:00:34.09
as being 4.7 inches,

16
00:00:34.09 --> 00:00:37.00
but that's a diagonal measurement.

17
00:00:37.00 --> 00:00:39.06
So the only way to figure out
the exact height and width

18
00:00:39.06 --> 00:00:41.02
was to measure the screen.

19
00:00:41.02 --> 00:00:43.09
Now I did so to the
nearest 16th of an inch.

20
00:00:43.09 --> 00:00:47.02
Now the good news is that
Illustrator will do math for you,

21
00:00:47.02 --> 00:00:48.07
but it currently doesn't do more than

22
00:00:48.07 --> 00:00:51.04
one arithmetic operation at a time.

23
00:00:51.04 --> 00:00:56.02
Now for example, I know that
the screen is 2 5/16 wide

24
00:00:56.02 --> 00:00:58.06
and so in a perfect world
I would be able to enter

25
00:00:58.06 --> 00:01:01.07
2+5/16

26
00:01:01.07 --> 00:01:03.03
and then press the tab key

27
00:01:03.03 --> 00:01:05.04
in order to have Illustrator do the math.

28
00:01:05.04 --> 00:01:07.03
But you may have noticed
it didn't do anything,

29
00:01:07.03 --> 00:01:09.00
it just went ahead and ignored me.

30
00:01:09.00 --> 00:01:12.05
So what I have to do is enter 5/16 first

31
00:01:12.05 --> 00:01:13.09
and then press the tab key

32
00:01:13.09 --> 00:01:15.07
and let Illustrator do the math.

33
00:01:15.07 --> 00:01:18.07
And now I know that the
Height is 4 1/8 inch,

34
00:01:18.07 --> 00:01:21.00
so I'll enter 1/8

35
00:01:21.00 --> 00:01:23.06
and have Illustrator do
the math on that as well.

36
00:01:23.06 --> 00:01:25.05
And then I'll click after the Width value

37
00:01:25.05 --> 00:01:26.09
and enter +2,

38
00:01:26.09 --> 00:01:28.07
that's one way to work anyway.

39
00:01:28.07 --> 00:01:30.04
And then I'll tab to the Height value

40
00:01:30.04 --> 00:01:32.07
and enter +4 for it

41
00:01:32.07 --> 00:01:34.09
and press tab to have that math done.

42
00:01:34.09 --> 00:01:37.00
So again, as things currently stand,

43
00:01:37.00 --> 00:01:38.07
you never know if they're going to change,

44
00:01:38.07 --> 00:01:41.07
you can only do one
arithmetic operation at a time

45
00:01:41.07 --> 00:01:43.04
inside Illustrator.

46
00:01:43.04 --> 00:01:45.04
Anyway, these are the
values we're looking for,

47
00:01:45.04 --> 00:01:49.08
2.3125 wide and 4.125 tall.

48
00:01:49.08 --> 00:01:51.06
After which point I'll
go ahead and click OK

49
00:01:51.06 --> 00:01:53.00
to create that rectangle

50
00:01:53.00 --> 00:01:55.01
and we end up with this shape here.

51
00:01:55.01 --> 00:01:57.00
Now currently it has that same black fill,

52
00:01:57.00 --> 00:01:58.03
that's not what I want.

53
00:01:58.03 --> 00:02:01.07
So I'll go ahead and change
the stroke right here to None.

54
00:02:01.07 --> 00:02:04.05
And then I'll click in this
first swatch to change the fill

55
00:02:04.05 --> 00:02:08.02
and I'll select this Blue
Sky gradient right here

56
00:02:08.02 --> 00:02:10.07
in order to fill the
rectangle with this gradient,

57
00:02:10.07 --> 00:02:13.04
which goes from a light
blue to transparent.

58
00:02:13.04 --> 00:02:15.05
At which point I'll go ahead
and press the escape key

59
00:02:15.05 --> 00:02:16.07
to hide that panel.

60
00:02:16.07 --> 00:02:19.07
Alright, once again the angle
of the gradient is wrong.

61
00:02:19.07 --> 00:02:22.03
Fortunately my Gradient
panel is still up on screen,

62
00:02:22.03 --> 00:02:24.02
but I need to go ahead and expand it

63
00:02:24.02 --> 00:02:27.02
by clicking on that double
arrow icon a couple of times.

64
00:02:27.02 --> 00:02:29.09
And once again, I'll change
that Angle value right there

65
00:02:29.09 --> 00:02:32.00
to 90 degrees and press the enter key,

66
00:02:32.00 --> 00:02:33.04
or the return key on the Mac,

67
00:02:33.04 --> 00:02:35.04
to make the gradient flow from the bottom

68
00:02:35.04 --> 00:02:37.06
to the top of my rectangle.

69
00:02:37.06 --> 00:02:39.00
Alright, next I created the home button

70
00:02:39.00 --> 00:02:40.03
using the Ellipse Tool.

71
00:02:40.03 --> 00:02:42.05
To do so I'll go ahead and
select the Ellipse Tool

72
00:02:42.05 --> 00:02:44.03
from the shape tool fly out menu.

73
00:02:44.03 --> 00:02:46.05
And then I'll go ahead and zoom in here

74
00:02:46.05 --> 00:02:48.09
until I've very close to
the bottom of my artwork.

75
00:02:48.09 --> 00:02:50.03
And I'll go up to the View menu

76
00:02:50.03 --> 00:02:52.09
and make sure the Smart
Guides command is turned on,

77
00:02:52.09 --> 00:02:54.06
which in my case it is not,

78
00:02:54.06 --> 00:02:56.06
so I'll go ahead and choose the command.

79
00:02:56.06 --> 00:02:58.07
And then I'll hover my
cursor at the intersection

80
00:02:58.07 --> 00:03:01.08
of this vertical guide and
the bottom of the rectangle

81
00:03:01.08 --> 00:03:03.07
and I will alt or option + click

82
00:03:03.07 --> 00:03:05.08
to bring up the Ellipse dialog box.

83
00:03:05.08 --> 00:03:07.05
The home button happens to measure

84
00:03:07.05 --> 00:03:09.09
about 3/8 of an inch in both directions.

85
00:03:09.09 --> 00:03:12.03
Currently both my Width and
Height values are the same,

86
00:03:12.03 --> 00:03:14.05
and so I'm going to lock them down here,

87
00:03:14.05 --> 00:03:16.04
by clicking on this little chain icon.

88
00:03:16.04 --> 00:03:17.09
And then I'll click on the word Width

89
00:03:17.09 --> 00:03:21.03
and I'll enter 3/8 and press the tab key.

90
00:03:21.03 --> 00:03:23.07
And both values will update in kind.

91
00:03:23.07 --> 00:03:26.04
Although apparently not exactly in kind,

92
00:03:26.04 --> 00:03:28.03
because we're off just a little bit

93
00:03:28.03 --> 00:03:29.09
here in the Height value.

94
00:03:29.09 --> 00:03:32.03
And so I'll go ahead
and turn that link off,

95
00:03:32.03 --> 00:03:33.03
my bad I guess,

96
00:03:33.03 --> 00:03:37.00
and I'll change this
value to 0.375 like so,

97
00:03:37.00 --> 00:03:40.03
and I'll click OK in order
to create that circle.

98
00:03:40.03 --> 00:03:42.04
Alright, now this shape
doesn't need any fill,

99
00:03:42.04 --> 00:03:43.06
so I'll click on the first color swatch

100
00:03:43.06 --> 00:03:46.01
in the control panel, change it to None.

101
00:03:46.01 --> 00:03:49.01
And then I'll dial in light
weight value of 2 points.

102
00:03:49.01 --> 00:03:50.08
Notice in my case that the stroke

103
00:03:50.08 --> 00:03:52.06
immediately defaults to the gradient,

104
00:03:52.06 --> 00:03:54.02
which is exactly what I want.

105
00:03:54.02 --> 00:03:56.04
And I want it to go in
this direction as well,

106
00:03:56.04 --> 00:03:58.04
but if you're not seeing
it in that direction,

107
00:03:58.04 --> 00:04:00.02
then go ahead and click on the Stroke

108
00:04:00.02 --> 00:04:01.08
here inside the Gradient panel

109
00:04:01.08 --> 00:04:04.07
and make sure that it's
set to -90 degrees.

110
00:04:04.07 --> 00:04:06.05
Alright, now I want to center this circle

111
00:04:06.05 --> 00:04:10.05
exactly inside of this
bottom portion of the iPhone.

112
00:04:10.05 --> 00:04:12.04
And the easiest way to make that happen

113
00:04:12.04 --> 00:04:15.00
is to drag the shape by its center point

114
00:04:15.00 --> 00:04:16.08
while pressing the shift key to constrain

115
00:04:16.08 --> 00:04:19.01
the angle of your drag
to exactly vertical,

116
00:04:19.01 --> 00:04:20.04
until it intersects with the bottom

117
00:04:20.04 --> 00:04:22.05
of the rounded rectangle like so.

118
00:04:22.05 --> 00:04:24.03
At which point go ahead and release.

119
00:04:24.03 --> 00:04:27.01
And now what you want to
do is press the enter key,

120
00:04:27.01 --> 00:04:28.05
or the return key on the Mac,

121
00:04:28.05 --> 00:04:31.03
in order to bring up the Move dialog box.

122
00:04:31.03 --> 00:04:33.04
And that will show you the exact details

123
00:04:33.04 --> 00:04:34.09
of your previous move.

124
00:04:34.09 --> 00:04:36.02
And so now all you need to do

125
00:04:36.02 --> 00:04:39.08
is set the Vertical value to
a negative version of itself

126
00:04:39.08 --> 00:04:42.02
and then go ahead and
click after the value

127
00:04:42.02 --> 00:04:46.06
and enter /2 in order to
divide that value in half.

128
00:04:46.06 --> 00:04:49.00
And that way you're moving
back half the distance

129
00:04:49.00 --> 00:04:50.06
you moved a moment ago.

130
00:04:50.06 --> 00:04:52.06
And then go ahead and click the OK button

131
00:04:52.06 --> 00:04:54.01
in order to accept that change.

132
00:04:54.01 --> 00:04:56.01
And then go up to the Opacity value

133
00:04:56.01 --> 00:05:00.02
up here in the control
panel and change it to 75%.

134
00:05:00.02 --> 00:05:03.01
And that'll give you an effect
that's similar to the stroke

135
00:05:03.01 --> 00:05:05.05
around the outside of the iPhone.

136
00:05:05.05 --> 00:05:06.05
Alright, now I'm going to go ahead

137
00:05:06.05 --> 00:05:08.06
and click off the shape to deselect it.

138
00:05:08.06 --> 00:05:11.09
And I'll scroll upward
to the top of the phone.

139
00:05:11.09 --> 00:05:14.04
Alright, now we want to
draw the horizontal slit

140
00:05:14.04 --> 00:05:16.05
that serves as the audio port.

141
00:05:16.05 --> 00:05:18.08
As well as the front facing camera.

142
00:05:18.08 --> 00:05:21.04
And I want them to be
centered inside of this area,

143
00:05:21.04 --> 00:05:24.00
but we can't really see
where the screen starts,

144
00:05:24.00 --> 00:05:25.08
and so I'm going to go up to the View menu

145
00:05:25.08 --> 00:05:27.04
and choose the Outline command,

146
00:05:27.04 --> 00:05:30.02
or I can press ctrl + Y,
or cmd + Y on the Mac,

147
00:05:30.02 --> 00:05:32.07
and that way I can better
see what I'm doing.

148
00:05:32.07 --> 00:05:34.09
Alright, now I'll switch
to the Line Segment Tool,

149
00:05:34.09 --> 00:05:37.04
which you can select from
the line tool fly out menu,

150
00:05:37.04 --> 00:05:39.03
and then I'll just go ahead
and click any old place

151
00:05:39.03 --> 00:05:40.07
inside my artwork.

152
00:05:40.07 --> 00:05:42.04
And I'll set the Length value once again

153
00:05:42.04 --> 00:05:45.01
to 3/8 of an inch, so 3/8.

154
00:05:45.01 --> 00:05:47.04
And I want the Angle
value to be 0 degrees.

155
00:05:47.04 --> 00:05:50.04
At which point I'll click OK
in order to create that line.

156
00:05:50.04 --> 00:05:52.05
It does not want to be a gradient however,

157
00:05:52.05 --> 00:05:54.02
so I'll click on the Stroke swatch

158
00:05:54.02 --> 00:05:56.06
and I'll set it to this
dark grey right here,

159
00:05:56.06 --> 00:05:59.03
in which all the RGB values are 77.

160
00:05:59.03 --> 00:06:02.06
And now I'll increase the
Stroke value to 3 points,

161
00:06:02.06 --> 00:06:03.07
which will make a difference as soon

162
00:06:03.07 --> 00:06:06.00
as we're seeing this
stroke in the outline mode.

163
00:06:06.00 --> 00:06:08.04
We're also going to need some round caps,

164
00:06:08.04 --> 00:06:10.04
and so I'll click on the word Stroke

165
00:06:10.04 --> 00:06:13.00
and select the Round Cap
from the Cap options here,

166
00:06:13.00 --> 00:06:14.04
and then I'll press the escape key

167
00:06:14.04 --> 00:06:16.01
in order to make that change.

168
00:06:16.01 --> 00:06:18.01
Alright, now I need to be able to center

169
00:06:18.01 --> 00:06:20.01
this stroke on this guide line.

170
00:06:20.01 --> 00:06:21.04
And the easiest way to do that

171
00:06:21.04 --> 00:06:24.06
is to find the center of
the line in the first place,

172
00:06:24.06 --> 00:06:26.09
which we can do by going
up to the Window menu

173
00:06:26.09 --> 00:06:28.09
and choosing the Attributes command

174
00:06:28.09 --> 00:06:31.02
in order to bring up the Attributes panel.

175
00:06:31.02 --> 00:06:33.06
If all you're seeing is
the Overprint options here,

176
00:06:33.06 --> 00:06:35.02
then click on this double arrowhead icon

177
00:06:35.02 --> 00:06:36.07
to expand the panel,

178
00:06:36.07 --> 00:06:39.06
and then click on this
second icon, Show Center,

179
00:06:39.06 --> 00:06:42.01
in order to add a center
point to the line.

180
00:06:42.01 --> 00:06:43.05
After which point you can go ahead

181
00:06:43.05 --> 00:06:45.04
and hide the Attributes panel.

182
00:06:45.04 --> 00:06:47.00
Alright, now I'm going to switch back

183
00:06:47.00 --> 00:06:48.02
to my black arrow tool,

184
00:06:48.02 --> 00:06:50.04
which of course I can get
by pressing the V key,

185
00:06:50.04 --> 00:06:52.07
and I'll drag this line
by its center point

186
00:06:52.07 --> 00:06:56.08
until it snaps into alignment
with the top of the iPhone.

187
00:06:56.08 --> 00:06:58.04
Now I want it to be centered as well,

188
00:06:58.04 --> 00:07:00.08
so I'm going to go ahead and drag it down,

189
00:07:00.08 --> 00:07:01.09
while pressing the shift key

190
00:07:01.09 --> 00:07:05.03
until it snaps into alignment
with the top of the screen.

191
00:07:05.03 --> 00:07:07.01
And then I'll press the enter key,

192
00:07:07.01 --> 00:07:08.06
or the return key on the Mac,

193
00:07:08.06 --> 00:07:10.04
to bring up the Move dialog box

194
00:07:10.04 --> 00:07:12.08
complete with the details
of that last movement.

195
00:07:12.08 --> 00:07:15.05
I'll change the Vertical value to negative

196
00:07:15.05 --> 00:07:18.03
and that'll pop that line
back to where it came from.

197
00:07:18.03 --> 00:07:20.06
But of course I only want
to move it halfway there

198
00:07:20.06 --> 00:07:22.03
and so I'll click after that value

199
00:07:22.03 --> 00:07:24.09
and enter /2 like so.

200
00:07:24.09 --> 00:07:28.02
And that will move the line to
exactly where it needs to be.

201
00:07:28.02 --> 00:07:29.09
After which point I'll click OK

202
00:07:29.09 --> 00:07:31.07
in order to accept that change.

203
00:07:31.07 --> 00:07:34.06
Now we need to draw the
tiny front facing camera.

204
00:07:34.06 --> 00:07:37.05
And we'll do that, once
again, using the Ellipse Tool.

205
00:07:37.05 --> 00:07:39.07
And so I'm going to alt or option + click

206
00:07:39.07 --> 00:07:42.04
right there at the
intersection of that line

207
00:07:42.04 --> 00:07:43.09
and that vertical guide.

208
00:07:43.09 --> 00:07:45.03
And this time I'm going to change

209
00:07:45.03 --> 00:07:47.00
both the Width and Height values,

210
00:07:47.00 --> 00:07:48.05
and they are the same this time,

211
00:07:48.05 --> 00:07:51.01
so I think I can safely
click on that link icon.

212
00:07:51.01 --> 00:07:52.07
I'm going to change
either one of the values

213
00:07:52.07 --> 00:07:55.04
to 3pt for point.

214
00:07:55.04 --> 00:07:57.07
And that way the thickness of this ellipse

215
00:07:57.07 --> 00:07:59.06
will match the thickness
of the line weight

216
00:07:59.06 --> 00:08:01.09
assigned to that horizontal line.

217
00:08:01.09 --> 00:08:03.03
And then I'll press the tab key

218
00:08:03.03 --> 00:08:06.00
in order to update both
values and I'll click OK.

219
00:08:06.00 --> 00:08:08.00
And we'll end up with this tiny ellipse.

220
00:08:08.00 --> 00:08:10.09
And now I want to move it
to the left 3/8 of an inch

221
00:08:10.09 --> 00:08:12.06
and so I'll press the V key to switch back

222
00:08:12.06 --> 00:08:14.01
to my black arrow tool.

223
00:08:14.01 --> 00:08:16.03
And I'll press the enter
key in order to bring up

224
00:08:16.03 --> 00:08:17.09
my Move dialog box.

225
00:08:17.09 --> 00:08:19.09
And I'll change the Horizontal value

226
00:08:19.09 --> 00:08:22.00
to -3/8 like so,

227
00:08:22.00 --> 00:08:24.01
and I'll change the Vertical value to 0.

228
00:08:24.01 --> 00:08:26.03
And then I'll go ahead and click OK

229
00:08:26.03 --> 00:08:27.09
in order to move that shape.

230
00:08:27.09 --> 00:08:30.00
And now we just want to swap
the fill and the stroke,

231
00:08:30.00 --> 00:08:33.04
and the easiest way to do
that is to press shift + X,

232
00:08:33.04 --> 00:08:36.08
and that will give us a dark
grey fill and no stroke.

233
00:08:36.08 --> 00:08:38.06
After which point you
can press control + Y,

234
00:08:38.06 --> 00:08:41.07
or command + Y, to switch
back to the preview mode

235
00:08:41.07 --> 00:08:44.04
and press ctrl + shift
+ A, or cmd + shift + A,

236
00:08:44.04 --> 00:08:46.03
in order to deselect the artwork.

237
00:08:46.03 --> 00:08:49.02
And now I'll go ahead and
zoom out a little bit here,

238
00:08:49.02 --> 00:08:51.08
so that we can take in the entire iPhone.

239
00:08:51.08 --> 00:08:54.09
And that is how you draw
the face of an iPhone 6

240
00:08:54.09 --> 00:08:57.04
with an obsessive degree of accuracy

241
00:08:57.04 --> 00:09:00.01
here inside Illustrator.
